Artibeus schwartzi

Mammals

Artibeus schwartzi, Schwartz's fruit-eating bat, is a bat endemic to the Lesser Antilles, with a range that takes in Barbados, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago, at elevations up to about 120 metres. It was described in 1978 as a subspecies of the Jamaican fruit bat, Artibeus jamaicensis, and in 2007 Larsen and colleagues used genetic data to recognise it as a full species. It has been hypothesised to have arisen by hybridization among three Artibeus species, the Jamaican fruit bat, Artibeus planirostris and an unknown third. The name honours the American biologist Albert Schwartz. It is likely to eat fruit. The IUCN assessed it as Data Deficient in 2016, because very little is known and its population size and trend are unknown.
